How to remove icons from Notepad++ row just below menu row?

[John Pollard]

Just began using Notepad++.
Would like to remove some of the icons in the row just below the menu row on the Notepad++ screen.
Is that possible? If so, how?

Natively, no.

Using the CustomizeToolbar plugin, yes: pull up plugin’s interface, and remove the built-in tools’ entries from the right

Thanks.

Is that an all-or-nothing change?
I don’t want to remove all the icons,
I’m hoping to remove only the ones I will never need.

No. There are individual entries for each button on the toolbar

Thanks, that’s just what I need.

[An aside: I checked the box that I’m “watching” this discussion,
and it appears that should cause me to receive email notifications
of posts to this discussion. But I’m not getting any notifications:
I checked my gmail spam folder and there’s nothing there.
What else do I need to do?]

But I’m not getting any notifications:

There are per-user settings on which notifications go to email and which only flag in the forum, so you might check there. But email notifications from the Forum have never been reliable – there have been so many decades of fighting internet spam that various servers throughout the path take it upon themselves to clean the ether of bulk-looking emails, even before they hit your local spam filters. We’ve set all the “I’m safe” fields that we know how to set, but many of those notifications still never make it to their recipients.

Sad. But thanks for the explanation.
